Configure and inspect the optional Python backend — configure_python

The Python backend is deliberately optional. It provides data I/O and specialised representation methods while `ancemb` retains ownership of phylogenetic data, Stan inference, posterior summaries, and metrics.

Usage

configure_python_backend(
  python = NULL,
  virtualenv = NULL,
  condaenv = NULL,
  required_modules = "numpy"
)

python_backend_status(required_modules = "numpy")

Arguments

python: Optional path to a Python executable.
virtualenv: Optional virtualenv name or path.
condaenv: Optional conda environment name.
required_modules: Python modules to check.

Value

Invisibly, a backend status list.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
configure_python_backend(virtualenv = "ancemb")
} # }
